Cask at GBBF ’16, day juan, 09/08/16. Black with a decent tan cap. Nose is as it says on the tin, Terrys chocolate orange, light hoppy back draft. Taste comprises dark malts, chocoalte biscuit, lighter orange notes, earthy, light roast. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Decent enough stout but perhaps lacking depth for 6.7% ABV.

Cask at GBBF 2016, Olympia, London. A dark brown/black coloured pour with a thin beige head on top. Roasty, malty, chocolate aroma. Tastes quite similar, roasty, malty, chocolate, slight orange. It is OK but I expected a lot more from a 6.7% stout.

Cask at GBBF ’14. Dark, dark brown, khaki head. Lovely. The aroma is surprisingly slight. Coffee seems to dominate over any chocolate/citrus aromas which are present but don’t really assert themselves. Taste us a little bit better. Bittersweet chocolate competes with a fruity bitter/sour. Thinner palette than I expected. Right amount of natural carbonation. Very short finish. Good overall but I was expecting more considering the description and the ABV. There just needs to be a bit more of everything.
